Why Kareena Kapoor Khan isn't game for biopics yet!
- Kareena Kapoor Khan steers clear of trends and asserts that she doesn't want to do biopics just because everybody else is doing it
Biopics seems to have become one of B-Town's fav genres. Every actor has a wishlist of which living/late celebrity they would like to play on the big screen.Kareena Kapoor Khan admits, "I have been offered biopics, but I don't think that just because there is a trend of biopics, one should get caught in the frenzy and do one. Actors tend to do that. If a comedy film chal gayi, everybody will make comedy films, action works, then there are a string of action films and biopic ek chali, so everybody will want to make a biopic. I don't want to just do it for the sake of it."
She admits she has been offered more than her share of biopics, "There have been so many. One was based on a IAS officer. Somebody wanted to make a film on Kiran Bedi, that was also offered to me." However, she is not inclined to do a film on someone's life, "I don't see myself doing a biopic. I don't know. If I did, what interests me is a film like The Bridges Of Madison County. When I am going to be that age, I want to do a film like that, that's more me."
Her contemporaries have had great success with biopics, but that doesn't bother Bebo, "It's an exciting profession. Every actor does what works for them, what suits them. Like I think Priyanka was apt for Mary Kom. I don't see any other actor, any one of us doing that role the way she did it. So there are certain things. Like Jab We Met was meant for me, so there are certain roles that an actor can do, like there was Omkara or Chameli. So there are certain parts, so we should cash on our USPs. I know what mine is, and do films based on that," she says.
